As AI agents gain autonomy to access data, make decisions, and act across enterprise systems, they introduce a new and rapidly expanding attack surface that traditional security models weren’t built to handle. This keynote draws on IDC research to outline how security leaders can govern agent identities, enforce guardrails, and build resilient architectures that let organizations scale agentic AI with confidence.
Qatar-specific intelligence
IDC research grounded in Qatar’s threat landscape and CISO investment data.
A peer network built for Qatar
Connect with CISOs from Qatar’s banking, energy, and government sectors.
Decisions, not just discussions
See where to invest and how to align security with Qatar’s growth agenda.
Frameworks you can apply now
Take home approaches for resilience, identity, and AI security governance.
Cyber and physical threats now converge across the Gulf. IDC’s ResOps framework shows how enterprises, including in Qatar, can stay operational when everything fails at once.
How conflict escalation in the region is reshaping IT spending, cloud resilience, and cybersecurity investment across the Gulf, including Qatar.
As AI agents gain access to enterprise systems, security and governance become as important as capability, a critical lesson for Qatar’s CISOs building agentic security programs.
